Quick Facts
Valplast Partial Dentures
Today, many dentists in the U.S. are choosing Valplast for removable partial dentures (RPDs) because patients love the fit and feel of flexible partial dentures. Metal-based RPD design is often tricky because it attempts to fuse an inflexible object inside a flexible environment. Since Valplast denture materials are flexible, they feel more natural inside a patient’s mouth. Valplast partial dentures also blend naturally with a patient’s teeth and gums, enhancing the appearance of their smile. Place your Valplast order with our denture lab today!
Quick Facts
Thermoflex Partial Dentures
THERMOFLEX™ denture frameworks use a flexible resin that is natural looking, aesthetically pleasing, fits the patient’s mouth perfectly, and is comfortable to wear. They’re designed using 3D CAD/CAM technology and are injection molded using heat and pressure. The result is a strong denture framework that fits precisely to a patient’s mouth, has excellent retention, and requires minimal adjustments. With more than 16 tooth shades and three tissue colors available, Thermoflex partials are nearly invisible inside a patient’s mouth. Thermoflex may be combined with a Wironium metal framework for more natural-looking clasps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is laboratory working time calculated, and what should not be included in this calculation?
Laboratory working time is calculated by excluding certain factors. Specifically, the day the case arrives at the lab and any transportation time is not counted as part of the working time total. This ensures that the actual processing time within the laboratory is accurately assessed, independent of external factors.
Where should I send digital photos of my case and other related information?
You can conveniently send digital photos of your case, along with necessary laboratory prescriptions and identified digital photographs, to [email protected].
What is the process for sending digital impressions, and where should they be sent?
To send digital impressions, you’ll first need to capture the data using a chairside intraoral scanner or by digitizing physical impressions. This process typically results in .STL files. Attach these .STL files to an email along with essential case identification details in the email body. Send this information to [email protected].
What are the time benefits of utilizing CAD/CAM technology for dental frameworks?
CAD/CAM technology offers significant time benefits in dental framework production. For instance, frameworks made from materials like titanium can be milled directly from a solid plate, bypassing many labor-intensive steps required in traditional casting methods. This efficiency translates into shorter turnaround times, with titanium frameworks often taking fewer working days compared to their cast metal counterparts.
What alternative options are recommended for patients concerned about aesthetics and not wanting to see metal in their partial dentures?
One alternative is the use of CAD/CAM-produced Zirlux Acetal frameworks. These frameworks are made from a semi-flexible resin material that strikes a balance between the flexibility of materials like Valplast and the rigidity of metal frameworks. Additionally, the use of tooth-colored frameworks and clasps that blend with the gingiva contributes to a highly aesthetic result.
